Treasuring every day with this little love. So excited to be his mama forever.

I've never tried Danessa Myricks palettes, but they look gorgeous.

For my birthday, I just got myself this gorgeous little Hourglass palette in Expressionist with metallic pale pink, gold, bronze, and coffee colors. My plan is to use it for travel and not need to pack any other shadows.

It's very old, not available any more. A few years ago I went looking because I'd used mine to death. Couldn't buy one anywhere. I was bummed... until my sister realized she had one that was barely used! We have different undertones and it's not her colors. So I'm on my second palette.

Do you have a ride-or-die favorite? Mine is Stila's In the Light. I fell in love with gold and bronze shadows with this palette, and I've never gone back.

An eyeshadow palette of 10 colors, ranging from pale champagne to warm gold/bronze/browns to a soft black

Ugh this is a good reminder that I should wash my brushes...

Sometimes when there is a hot button issue with dozens (hundreds?) of people there, it's funny to see what else they're talking about that day

Oh I recognize that church! It was on my commute to work in residency. What a saga.

And not sold in toy stores in bright rainbow colors with a small label on the back that says "not for children"

Alana Kinrich @alanakinrich.medsky.social · 2d

I'm shocked that these are still legal.

If there's an actual use case for them in manufacturing or something, they should be all one color and labelled as severely as anything else that is life-threatening

Sounds delicious! Hope it was a lovely birthday.

Wait--it's not in the emergency room so a doctor who has never met them before can try to figure out their goals of care before the admitting physician will agree to see them? Shocking.

Fun fact: I was friends with Este in high school

How do you like the urban arrow? We're considering our first baby-friendly e-bike, and we can put a younger baby in the cargo area but I'm worried it's too big/unwieldy for me. Other option is to wait until he's big enough to sit in a rear seat.

Hard to be certain (and different docs might disagree here, art of medicine etc) but a scratch that isn't a puncture wound or deep enough to need stitches feels like 10 years would be fine.

It's a bit subjective, but definitely if cut by anything that is visibly rusty or dirty--stepped on an old nail, twisted metal outside, something sharp in a garden bed, etc. Also a deep bite, including cat/dog/human.

A normal well-maintained kitchen knife wouldn't count.

10 for standard preventative care, but I'd update after 5 if you had a particularly dirty or high risk wound.

I get Rob Bonta's newsletter, and I'm so grateful for all the good work his office does.

Alana Kinrich @alanakinrich.medsky.social · 8d

That's one of my favorite flavors from them! Also a big fan of Paris, Elyse's blend, and Earl grey supreme.

Toodling! Didn't really realize how far I walked in all today. Morning walk to yoga was in some slip-on Toms, and then midday and evening walks were in Toms sneakers. But they're all many years old and I'm sure they're not good arch support.

Alana Kinrich @alanakinrich.medsky.social · 8d

This was somewhat unintentional--I took a short walk this morning, a long walk midday, and a medium walk in the evening, all basically unrelated to each other. Had no idea how many miles I put in.

Right now my treat is feeding a sleepy baby in the dark, and then going to bed.
